Well done sir.
There are quite a few teams that take Lemons very seriously. There are a few of us that are there for the party, not the trophy.Â
Our best finish in the last 16 years has been 9th out of 97 cars. We have brought a few other awards home. Like, Most Likely to Go Home in an Ambulance and Organizer’s Choice. We even pulled off an IOE after welding a B210 transmission back together to finish a race. When the team starts making noises about faster driver changes, pit stops, and class wins, I know it’s time for me to move on. That’s not why I run Lemons. While winning can be fun, winning with a junkyard car is hard work. You spend countless hours to make a car work, only to be let down by a 25-year-old gasket, or a rusty bolt. It sucks all the fun out of Lemons racing in a hurry. Â

Yep, that’s the input shaft welded to the output shaft using a Harbor Freight flux core welder. I figured it would last about 30 minutes. Instead, it ran for 8 hours. The young lady in the back is my daughter. We put her on track at midnight with a broken single-speed car. It was her first time on a road course. After 30 minutes she was turning lap time within 15 seconds of the best of us using all the gears.Â
